DesignWare IDE Security IP Modules Protect Against Data Tampering and Physical Attacks in High-Performance Cloud Computing SoCs
Highlights
- DesignWare Integrity and Data Encryption Security Modules protect data transfers for SoCs using the PCI Express® 5.0 or CXL™ 2.0 architectures
- Pre-verified with DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express technology and CXL enables fast integration and lowers risk
- Efficient encryption/decryption and authentication with AES-GCM helps ensure data confidentiality and integrity for high-performance systems
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the availability of the DesignWare® Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) Security Modules to help designers protect against data tampering and physical attacks in high-performance computing (HPC) SoCs using the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 architecture or Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) 2.0 interface. The DesignWare IDE Security Modules protect sensitive data with efficient encryption, decryption, and authentication based on AES-GCM algorithms while meeting PCIe 5.0 specification and CXL 2.0 IP performance and latency requirements. The DesignWare IDE Security Modules are designed to the latest PCIe 5.0 specification and CXL 2.0 interface standards and are designed and validated with Synopsys’ DesignWare Controller IP to accelerate SoC integration.
“The IDE cryptographic features in the PCIe 5.0 specification are aligned to industry-standard design requirements and can be flexibly extended as security requirements evolve,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG® chairman and president. “By offering the unique combination of interface and security IP for the PCIe 5.0 specification, Synopsys is enabling the design community to quickly implement necessary security functionality into their systems.”
